Ed Fagan, Inc. Tungsten Alloy Weights

Tungsten Alloys, which contain elements such as nickel, copper and iron, produce a host of alloys which have engineering properties similar to steel, are relatively easy to machine, and can be plated or painted to enhance their corrosion protection. These alloys are approximately 50% denser than lead resulting in a higher concentration of mass in a limited area. Tungsten Alloys have found wide acceptance in applications such as radiation shielding, boring bars, and counterweights in aircraft and racing cars.
